Edition: Second Impression
Published By: Chatto and Windus
St Mary's Books is proud to present this 1951 second impression of "The Big Show: Some Experiences of a French Fighter Pilot in the R.A.F." signed by the author, Pierre Clostermann. Housed in its original pictorial dustjacket featuring a dramatic full colour illustration of an aerial battle, this hardback book is bound in blue cloth with gold gilt lettering to its spine. Inside, one finds 256 pages of text, supplemented by contemporary black and white photographs, providing the authors authentic inside story of the war in the air over Europe, from 1942 to the Armistice. Within the pages of this book, the reader is treated to the authors' impressions of action, jotted down moments after each operation ended, and carrying with them the very feeling of the man in the cockpit. This copy, and its original dustjacket, are in very good condition. With no notable blemishes or imperfections to the dustjacket, and only some very minor foxing to report on the prelims, this book remains impeccably well preserved. "The Big Show" is looking for a new home and would make for the perfect gift for any aviation enthusiast hoping to read a thrilling true story.
